The first volume (80Go) is perfectly working and the server boot normaly. But on the second volume I've got A geometry of 455672/255/63 for mfid1 is incorrect. Using etc... and when I don't care this message when I create a slice he say there are DISK Geometry: 455672 cyls/255 heads/63 sectors = 7320370680 sectors (3574399MB) (The size is correct). But when I try to create a partition Disk: mfid1 Partition name: mfid1s1 Free: 3025403321 blocks (1442GB) and that it's not fine because I lost....2.1 Tb I cannot see how I can find the correct geometry with the bios of my server, I try every menu on the bios, raid controlor menu etc... and don't find anything. Anyone known what I can do to have all my space ? Regards. -- Albert SHIH Observatoire de Paris Meudon SIO batiment 15 Téléphone : 01 45 07 76 26 Heure local/Local time: Mer 9 jan 2008 15:26:28 CET
